Global Cooperation Highlighted at 2025 World Economic Forum in Davos

The 2025 edition of the World Economic Forum's (WEF) annual meeting commenced in Davos, Switzerland, on Monday, bringing together nearly 3,000 participants from 130 countries and regions. Under the theme \"Cooperation in the Intelligent Age,\" the gathering seeks to address the urgent need for global collaboration to tackle shared challenges.

Over 60 heads of state and government are convening alongside political leaders, business executives, and experts to engage in meaningful dialogue. The discussions are set to cover critical topics ranging from escalating geopolitical tensions and the accelerating climate crisis to the rapid technological transformation impacting artificial intelligence and automation in the global economy.

Chinese Vice Premier Ding Xuexiang underscored the importance of cooperation in advancing economic globalization during his speech at the forum. \"Through cooperation to promote economic globalization, we will usher in a more vibrant, advanced, and sustainable new stage. I believe we have the wisdom and capability to find mutually beneficial cooperation through communication and consultation, and I also recognize the challenges in further advancing economic globalization,\" he stated.

Echoing this sentiment, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen emphasized the necessity for global unity. \"We will need to work together to avoid a global race to the bottom. Because it is in no one's interest to break the bonds in the global economy,\" she remarked.

Prior to the opening, WEF Founder Klaus Schwab highlighted that growing divisions in the world demand renewed collaboration. He called for a spirit of optimism and cooperation, noting that the 2025 meeting aims to shape a more sustainable and inclusive future in the emerging intelligent era. \"Despite divergent positions and great uncertainties, the Annual Meeting 2025 will foster a spirit of cooperation and constructive optimism with the objective of shaping the forthcoming Intelligent Age in a more sustainable and inclusive way,\" Schwab said.

Jeremy Jurgens, Managing Director of the WEF, also addressed the significance of strong global governance in the face of rapid technological change. He highlighted China's contributions in areas such as economic growth, innovation, and environmental sustainability, underlining the importance of inclusive international collaboration, according to China Media Group News Radio.
